Inky

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Kitten · 9 months

Greetings, my name is Inky. I came to Filey Cat Rescue as part of a rescue of 16 kittens from a farm in Norton. When we arrived, a lot of us were really poorly however I was in fine fettle! As I spent the first few months of my life fending for myself, I am incredibly uncertain of humans. I am looking for an outdoor only home with my friend, Mango, where we can enjoy a happy life exploring the countryside whilst having all of our caring needs met. If you have a home for us, please fill in a Fostering and Adoption Form.

About Inky

What life with Inky looks like

Inky is a kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Filey Cat Rescue in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Inky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Inky?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Filey Cat Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Inky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Inky if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Filey Cat Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Inky already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Inky isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Filey Cat Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Inky and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
